Marisnick accompanied by a trainer, headed for the clubhouse after the top of the fifth for X-rays, which were negative.

"It hit me pretty square, but it feels alright now," said Marisnick, after the Marlins' 7-2 loss to the Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium. "I got pretty lucky. Just take it day by day and see the pain level, how it feels. I planned on staying in, but...it's still early in spring training. No need to push it if there was something. The news looks good, so I'm happy."

Marisnick was scheduled to travel with the Marlins to Port St. Lucie Thursday. Manager Mike Redmond said he likely would stay behind.

"He'll be sore [Thursday]," Redmond said. "It's scary. You don't want anybody to get hit, especially in the hand. It looks like he's going to be fine. He'll miss a few days. Hopefully we dodged another bullet there."
